Granberg started releasing his own work around 2008/09, and according to discog has around six full-length releases to his name. I’d be aware of Granberg's name for a year or two, but only finally heard his work this year with Early To Late ( also on Another Timbre)- the excellent split release he put out with Jürg Frey. His track on that release was entitled “How Vain Are All Our Frail Delights”, and it high-lightered Granberg ability to create atmospherically rich & spellbinding music that was both pare-back, yet textural varied, and spell-blindly eventful.

Es Schwindelt Mir, Es Brennt Mein Eingeweide (roughly translated to It Dizzies Me, & Burns My Guts) is a sixty-two-minute composition. And it brings together Granberg on prepared piano, Anna Lindal on Baroque Volin, Anna- Kaisa Meklin on viola da gamba, Cyril Bondi on percussion & pitch pipes, D’incise on Vibraphone, electronics & objects, and Christoph Schiller on Spinet. The piece is both stark & sparse, as well as it is textural varied & busily shifting in it’s unfold. The whole track is built around the soothing, yet urgent-to- haunting dart 'n' pick of the prepared piano elements. Around this the other players build in their own swoop & shifts of sound- these go from extremely subtle flirts & fiddles, though to slight more dramatic & pronounced moves- yet the structure always return to the more pared back & stark original elements.  Used for the cover illustration of the album is an old print of a waterfall- and this nicely fits the huge yet detailed presence of the track.

It certainly takes talent to compose & create a pared-back & skeletal bit of modern composition, which is both atmospheric, eventful, and texturally varied-  and with Es Schwindelt Mir, Es Brennt Mein Eingeweide has Granberg managed to do just that. Another extremely worthy release from Another Timbre
